Piston Inspection
Piston
Inspect piston for scoring, cracking or other dam-
ages. Replace piston and piston rings if neces-
sary.
Using a micrometer, measure piston at 10 mm
(.394 in) perpendicularly (90°) to piston pin.

1. Measuring perpendicularly (90°) to piston pin
A. 10 mm (.394 in)
The measured dimension should be as described
in the following table. If not, replace piston.

1. Size code “1” or “2” of piston
NOTE:
If the wear limit is exceeded, a new piston
must be used or the cylinder, complete with pis-
ton, has to be replaced.
Piston/Cylinder Clearance
Adjust and lock a micrometer to the piston dimen-
sion. Make sure piston is within specification.
